Philosophy gives you a means to study other topics and allow you to question things, such as ethics and religion for yourself. it helps you develop as a person.
Ethics change all the time, no body ever stays the same,
Religion at the end of the day are just groups of people that all think mostly the same thing. Its a form a brainwashing that is acceptable in society because so many people take part in it. This doesn't mean that you should ignore religion if anything, you should take some of it on board because who knows, someday you may have to be understanding of a particular religious group, in order to save your own ****. Religion is one of the biggest reasons given for disputes and wars. 'Know the enemy, but don't join them'

To many people it is the same thing.
Having studied both for years, I found my spiritual path took me back to the concepts of Christianity. Objectively taking a look at the possibility that some truth may be found in it, I was faced with making a decision about this Jesus, who was suppose to be the Son of God. I had encountered claims of diety before.... how was He any different? I had rejected this religion years before.
Accepting the possibility that Jesus is who He said He was, and that He did what the Bible said He had done, I had to confront some aspects about myself as well. I then realized that the Bible was a spiritual book, and that it was already at work, affecting and changing my life for the good. I then realized that it wasn't just the pages of this book, but something spiritually had changed in me. As I grew in my understanding, I became aware that this was God's Spirit within me. I had come to know that there is a living God, who had touched my heart, mind, and soul. I found that I had grown to love Him; for what He had done, the love He has shown me and millions of other people.... the gift of His mercy and grace.
An act of desperation or delusion? No, I was an Agnostic and a Mystic, looking for truth and the spiritual experience. God has shown me more than I could ever have imagined. Christianity is more than a "religion", or another way of life. It is about having a real and personal relationship with the living God... as our redeemer, savior and friend. A new life, with the author of life... as real as the air that we breath.

I took intro to Philosophy this past semester, and a lot of Philosophy depended on religious ideas at the time. So you will also learn religion.

the actually studying of the philosophy becomes the religion

That depends on what religion, and/or what ethic or philosophy, (There IS a difference).

Philosophy is for the dead,
Religion is for the blind,
Live is for the living.
Spirituality is larger then live.

Many ancient Philosophers were clergy/ministers/priests/holy men/prophets. The subjects are so intertwined that it is hard to separate them.

Religious is supposition enhanced by copy-cats who are too weak to stand up for themselves and have to have someone to lean on.
They are the weaker kind of manhood.
